I had no interest in Rise of the Planet of the Apes. But it was actually pretty damn good.

I've had this movie from Netflix sitting on my bar for two weeks and I haven't gotten around to watching it. Now I'm more motivated to watch it.

Planet of the apes is the stupidest ******* concept for a movie. It just bothers me so much that they have that many movies about apes taking over the world. Just too much of a stretch for me to buy into.

The original was awesome and Rise was pretty good, other than that though they all seemed to suck.

I've seen the Avengers three times now in the last few days. <3 I just get this weird feeling seeing Ruffalo in there, though. Just because I know it was supposed to be Norton. Just feels off. Not that he does a bad job at all...just get this weird feeling. Like I envision Norton performing all the same lines, and Ruffalo is his understudy.

I think Ruffalo is the better fit. I love Norton's work and think he's a great actor, but I don't trust that he would have been the best person to work along side. RDJr, Hemsworth, Chris Evans, and Norton would have been a little bit off. Ruffalo is a bit softer, whereas Norton is a tad abrasive.(insert American History X clip here) I would have been worried that the comedic timing would have been off between everyone and that Norton would have kinda looked down at the other guys.

All October, I watch horror movies and this year I decided to watch a bunch of the really old movies. I starter way back in 1896 with "The Haunted Castle" watched the 1910 "Frankenstein" both silent. Today I watched "Nosferatu" and "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" also silent. Maybe it's becuase I don't have experience watching silent films but I find it really difficult to follow a silent film for over an hour.

I tried to watch an old silent film once and I just couldn't do it. I respect the old classics but peoples attention spans and what entertains them has changed way too much. Citizen Kane is an incredibly important film but I can't say I loved watching it or would watch it again. I watched it in a film class and I'd say that 95% of people felt the same way. People now days are just used to a much different standard.

I could watch Citizen Kane every day if I had the time for it. Just focus in on a different aspect of the film every time and watch how consistent and obsessively Welles used everything to reinforce his film. The relative heights of the characters, the use of shadows, the soundtrack, whatever. That level of detail focused on a single purpose is inspiring. It's the type of greatness that you just don't experience, like walking around a Frank Lloyd Wright building, you feel that this ingenuity and genius is why our species showed this planet who the boss was and it's why despite everything wrong with the world today, we're still the greatest living creatures this planet has seen yet and the future really is bright, despite our best efforts.

I've never even attempted to watch Citizen Kane. In fact, I haven't seen a bunch of those old school classics. Maybe one day.
